A good attempt Kashi. I do like the blue color cast you managed to capture along with the idea as I am a big fan of silhouettes. While everyone is suggesting to include the whole tree which would improve the composition, the other thing you could try is being directly under the tree looking up. This way you get the branches spreading evenly over the frame in different directions.

The angle you shot at is a tough one, generally it is good if you want to show a sense of scale, however there is no subject reference to give it this feeling as such it loses a bit. As an example, with this angle what would really help would to have a color contrasting object (bright white or something else) that is small in the lower right corner on one of the branches.

Just some ideas, but I am not really saying this picture is bad. The idea is great and silhouettes with textured patterns are always a winner. Hope that helps, feel free to critique me anytime!

I agree with Catherine, I think you needed to show more of the tree. Right now it just seems like something is missing. I think the color of the sky helps create and interesting silhouette.

You did a fine job with exposure and the colors are very pleasing. I think what hurt you on this one was the lack of a definable subject area - I agree that I would have liked to have seen more of the tree or more negative space on either right or left. Still think you should have gotten a bit higher score, though - it was a solid entry.
